Assessment method
All taught modules on the MSc in Human-Centred Interactive Technologies are examined by open assessments. The assessment paper is published at the end of the week of teaching, and you will be required to submit your answers typically four weeks later. This type of assessment allows you to engage with the research literature and gives us the chance to assess your practical skills. Once you have successfully completed the taught modules, you will undertake an extensive individual project. Here you will work on a topic relevant to HCIT, and document the results in a report. Additionally, you will be required to precis the project report in a conference style paper. Assessments will take place at various times during the year. Practical exercises, reports and other forms of open assessment will be due either during the course module or just after its completion. Timescales, Modules and Project Descriptions may be subject to change.
